Chabad House of Ann Arbor


I did not know that the Chabad house of Ann Arbor has a community mikvah and that is available for use by the Jewish community. The mikwah employs a filtering pool heating system and is the only such facility between Detroit and Chicago. A nominal donation is asked of occasional users. The women of Mikvah Israel act as shomerot (assistants) for those women desiring to use the mikvah. I am curious if shomerot are available for men who desire to use the mikvah. I wonder if an extra "nominal donation" is suggested if you were to request assistance from a shomerot. Have any of you ever visited a mikvah?

Once my mother urinated in a mikvah.
